Description
Kelso, the two most popular towns in the area. The current owners have created a home with a welcoming atmosphere which is apparent immediately on entering the house. The flow of the accommodation works well and makes for a house that is easy to live in, with enough space for the whole family. The living and entertaining rooms are a combination of relaxed family spaces, such as the snug and sitting room, and more formal spaces including the dining room and drawing room. The open plan kitchen/breakfast room is the hub of the house and opens directly to the terrace and garden. The sun room, at the other end of the house, has south and west facing windows, making it ideal for enjoying the sun and views at any time of year. The house is very practical with a variety of rooms providing storage and utility space. Accessed from the drive, or through the house, is a studio which could work well as a home office or artist's studio.
The house sits in beautiful gardens, consisting of around 1.26 acres, with large areas of lawn surrounded by mature borders and trees. There is a kitchen garden as well as various terraces, connecting the house to the garden. The summer house provides a distinctive focal point to the side of the property, with herbaceous planting softening the ground between it and the main house. It is a delightful garden with views across open county. To the west of the garden is a paddock which the current owners let from the neighbouring landowner. Subject to discussion with the estate, this arrangement may be extended to the new owner.
Mertoun Glebe is situated in the heart of the Scottish Borders, close to the pretty village of St Boswells which has a butcher, a pub and The Mainstreet Trading Company, with an award-winning bookshop, café and deli. Positioned in an idyllic rural setting, the property benefits from a south easterly aspect with far reaching, uninterrupted views. It lies 41 miles from Edinburgh with its International Airport, and 30 miles from Berwick-upon-Tweed, with a main line railway station providing direct services to London and Edinburgh. The Borders Railway between Edinburgh and the Borders terminates at Tweedbank (8 miles) just outside Melrose. Mertoun Glebe is ideally suited for those wishing to take advantage of the wealth of recreational opportunities available in the Scottish Borders, an area renowned for its unspoilt beauty, strong equestrian tradition and rich variety of sport. Driven grouse, pheasant and partridge shooting are available locally with salmon fishing on the Rivers Tweed and Teviot. There are endless opportunities for walking and riding and for golf enthusiasts there are several courses in the area including the championship Roxburghe course at Kelso. There are a number of good schools in the area, with the house being in the catchment for St Boswells Primary and Earlston High school, whilst the well known preparatory school of St Marys is in nearby Melrose.
